Recording company sues Lil' Kim for $2.5 mil

Tbdlilkim101008 A recording company has sued Lil' Kim for $2.5 million, saying she hasn't delivered enough flava as per her contract requirements, the AP reports. Their solution? Ban Kim from recording for anyone else.

Brookland Media filed the lawsuit in Manhattan's state Supreme Court. Lil' Kim's lawyer, Londell McMillan, says Brookland sued "to leverage their own position" in the contract dispute, the AP says.

The lawsuit says Brookland contracted with Lil' Kim this year and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on recordings, equipment and advance payments.

Court papers say the rapper later tried to change the contract and refused to continue recording unless Brookland agreed. The papers say she had recorded only a few tracks toward a new album by the beginning of September. The rest are probably all used up as ringbacks on her cell phone.
